Fayette County commissioners awarded a demolition contract to Empire Salvage for $69,250 to remove listed nuisance structures and improve properties. The commission also approved a second motion to include one Anstead parcel (Long Log Town Road) and authorized use of RE grant/refund funds to cover the associated expense.

County staff said Empire Salvage is a previously used, qualified vendor. The mayor and municipal representatives described the properties as nuisance parcels and indicated the work would create additional parking and remove structures that had been repeatedly occupied unlawfully.

Commissioners voted twice: first to approve Empire Salvage for the listed parcels except one town parcel, and second to include the Anstead parcel and to use available RE funds to cover that work. Staff will finalize vendor documentation and confirm available grant/refund balances before contract execution.

Ending: Contract award is subject to receipt of required vendor documentation and confirmation of available grant/refund funds; staff will return executed contract documents to the commission.
